Just as the square root is a number that, when squared, gives the radicand, the cube root is a number that, when cubed, gives the radicand. Cubing a number is the same as taking it to the third power: 23 is 2 cubed, so the cube root of 23 is 2.

For a rational number to have a terminating decimal expansion q should be in the form 5^m and 2^n or both. If q is not in the form of either then it is a non terminating recurring decimal expansion
